OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Surface Preparation with Walter Allsteel

The Walter Allsteel 13W651 is a premium 6-inch knot wire wheel brush designed for the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking and fabrication environments. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in abrasive and surface treatment solutions, this brush exemplifies the Allsteel line's commitment to value, performance, and safety. It features a robust knot-twisted wire construction, which provides a stiffer, more aggressive face compared to crimped wire alternatives. This makes it the ideal choice for heavy-duty applications where rapid material removal is required without altering the base material's geometry.

One of the standout features of the 13W651 is its meticulous balance. Walter employs strict quality control measures to ensure that every brush has an identical wire count and uniform distribution around the hub. This precision balancing eliminates the vibration often associated with inferior wire wheels, resulting in smoother operation, reduced wear on power tools, and significantly lower operator fatigue during extended use. The integrated 5/8"-11 threaded arbor allows for direct, secure mounting onto standard angle grinders, minimizing setup time and ensuring a safe connection at high RPMs.

This wire wheel is specifically formulated with high-quality carbon steel wire, optimized for use on steel workpieces. It excels in tasks such as deburring, removing heavy rust, stripping paint, and cleaning weld seams. Industrial procurement specialists and MRO managers can rely on the 13W651 for consistent performance and a long service life, reducing the frequency of consumable replacements and maintaining high productivity levels on the shop floor.

FAQ

The Walter 13W651 features a built-in 5/8"-11 threaded arbor, designed to screw directly onto the spindle of compatible angle grinders.

It is not recommended. This brush uses carbon steel wire, which can leave carbon deposits on stainless steel, leading to rust and contamination. For stainless steel, use a Walter brush with stainless steel (SST) wire.

Knot wire brushes are twisted into tight tufts, making them stiffer and more aggressive for heavy-duty cleaning. Crimped wire brushes are more flexible and better for light cleaning or surface finishing.

Always refer to the label on the brush itself for the specific maximum RPM rating. Generally, 6-inch wire wheels are rated for speeds compatible with standard angle grinders, often around 9,000 RPM, but verification is essential for safety.

No, Walter Allsteel brushes are known for their exceptional balance. They are manufactured with strict quality controls to ensure even weight distribution, resulting in smooth, vibration-free operation.

This 6-inch wheel is designed for use with angle grinders that can accommodate a 6-inch accessory and have a 5/8"-11 spindle thread.

Yes, the knot-twisted design makes it excellent for aggressive applications like removing heavy rust, scale, and thick paint.

Consistent wire count in each knot ensures the brush remains balanced throughout its life and wears evenly, providing consistent cleaning performance and safety.
